Comment 51 for bug 217504

It looks like this will not be fixed in kernel 2.6.27 either because (at least up to rc3) the section of drivers/input/input.c in Sergey Yanovich's patch isn't going to change. I believe acpi_fakekey is only a Debian-based distro thing, so has anyone from Debian or Ubuntu even tried to argue that the mainline kernel be patched for this? Or is Debian acpi handling going to be modified? Even if a kernel change were proposed for
2.6.28 that will be around 1 year since it was broken in 2.6.24. I for one would appreciate it if Ubuntu/Debian proprietary kernel patches were kept to the absolute minimum.
